Intraplate tectonic settings, located far from active plate margins, have historically been considered stable. However, infrequent but destructive ...

Landscape evolution represents the dynamic interplay between tectonic forces, climate, and surface processes that continuously reshape the Earth’s topography. Central to this evolution is the ...

Rising mountains do more than reshape the landscape – they also drive evolutionary change, according to a new study. By simulating millions of years of tectonic uplift, researchers have ...

A landmark Nature study into the geological timescale distribution of sediment and nutrients over 500 million years shows that species biodiversity on Earth is driven by landscape dynamics.

Previous models of Earth's recent (100 million years) geomorphology have been patchy at best. For the first time a detailed continuous model of the Earth's landscape evolution is presented, with ...

The Earth as we know it today is the result of billions of years of geological activity, where continents have shifted, collided, and broken apart over time. But what did Earth look like in its early ...

This classification is resolving a long-standing question whether tectonic forces and strength of the Earth's crust are the controlling factors of mountain elevation or weathering processes.

The ecosystem and climate underwent significant changes during the period in which early Homo species evolved into the current Homo sapiens, from 2.8 million years ago to 10,000 years ago.
